I thought we always seemed a little off…if you know what I mean.

Too many misplaced passes and generally clumsy in the final 3rd.

Maybe it’s the schedule or the slippery conditions or the players did something to celebrate the new year…who knows but not our best performance.

But we still contained Newcastle….at no point I felt under threat even when A Aron had his little moment kicking out.

Thought that was more evidence of the players learning from what happened when they went gung ho vs United.

Was hoping for some late changes like KT down the left, Vieira for Oodegard and maybe Marquinhos for the last 5 minutes but that final sub from Howe changed things imo.

Thought when he brought Saint Maximan up front Arteta decided to keep things as they were and not chance them getting a break away winner.

I think once the next set of fixtures play out we’ll look back and realise that this was a good point.

City will drop points…yeah sure their attack is brilliant with depth but look in behind and to put it bluntly…they’ve got some right donkies playing for them.
